The Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office is now using biometric technology from Morpho as a part of its workflow and says it’s already seen a doubling of identification matches in the first month of use.

Reported in the HeraldTribune, the particular system – MorphoBIS – cost the county $1.2 million and is being used primarily to examine latent fingerprints at crime scenes. The agency was previously using a ten-year old system.

“New people are arrested everyday, so I search their fingerprints with all of the unsolved cases,” latent print examiner Brian Asbridge said in the report. “I’m seeing almost a doubling of hits this month alone.”
